Jordyn Huitema celebrates Julio Rodriguez's first home run of the 2024 season
Seattle Mariners center fielder and former AL Rookie of the Year Julio Rodriguez got off to a slow start this season, taking almost a month to belt his first home run. Upon his first homer of the season, his girlfriend, Jordyn Huitema, celebrated it on social media, writing:
"First of many."
Despite the slow start to the season, Rodriguez is doing well of late. In 98 games played this season, the 23-year-old is hitting .265, including 10 home runs, 35 RBIs and 18 stolen bases. If the Mariners were to make the postseason, they would want last year's version of Rodriguez.
